Using Extended Unicode / Emoji

Emoji symbols take advantage of the extended Unicode character set.  Percussion CM1 fully supports the embedded of Extended Unicode characters in the Source view of the Rich Text editor or the HTML Widget. 

In order for a Web Browser to render Extended Unicode characters / Emoji a couple of things have to be true:

• The Web Page should be encoded as UTF-8 or another Unicode character encoding
• The Web Server should serve the Page as UTF-8 or another Unicode encoding
• The Web Browser must support extended Unicode characters or Emoji

CM1 publishes and stores all Page content in UTF-8 by default.  Most web servers are pre-configured to serve HTML content for files with the html file extension.  If you are not using extensions for your Pages (we recommend file extensions for best web compatibility), you will need to configure a Default encoding of UTF-8 for your Pages.  

Emoji Web Fonts

Emoji Web Fonts are fonts that have customized Emoji icons for extended Unicode characters.  These are referenced on a page in the same way as other web fonts.
